If they make another Star Trek movie, can we have James Gunn direct it? Not because of his directorial skills; I just think it’s about time a narrative included Gunn’s Chekov.

Not a single reporter at the Superbowl asked any of the Eagles why they didn't fly the Fellowship to Mordor.

Life is too short to spend it perpetually outraged *even if everything is objectively outrageous*. Me having an emotional reaction doesn’t change anything whatsoever.

New Orleans out here innovating in bread shapes. Say hello to the challigator.

My grandma always used to call the meringue peaks “teats” and then would dissolve into giggles about how naughty she was being.

“Did you get the stuff for the cheese tray you told your mom we were bringing?”

Fml we’ve already been to the grocery store twice this morning.

To be fair, Pennsylvania Fuckforce is having an incredible season.

Anyway I'm just going to block people lovingly and carefully by hand, one at a time, the way the good lord intended.

I'm not doing blocklists. Someone shared one earlier and I checked out a couple of the people on it and they seemed okay? Then later it turned out that had been a fake blocklist meant to trick people into blocking the wrong users.

X Out A salty, cranky case for letting Twitter die

I briefly put principles and values aside to make a saltier, crankier case for leaving X: Elon Musk is uniquely insufferable holapapi.substack.com/p/x-out

We must must must resist the idea that generative AI is inevitable. It is not inevitable. People don't really like it. It doesn't do its job well. It removes the humanity from one of the most human-forward things. Not to mention it is an environmental nightmare. Keep banging the drum. Say no to AI.

it wouldn’t solve all of our problems but i do think a 45 minute YouTube video titled “Werner Herzog Discusses The Failures Of Wile E. Coyote” would help a lot of people

Bsky definitely seems to have reached some kind of critical mass. I’m seeing floods of posts on other socials where people are sharing usernames/starter packs/etc which was not happening prior to like two weeks ago.

There’s an unspoken assumption, which I don’t agree with, that there are two kinds of Nazis. I would say there’s one kind of Nazi

I’m in the non-starter pack

God: When the humans are alone, they should be able to hear music in their heads sometimes.

Angel: That's a lovely idea.

God: And it should be a 8 second loop of a song they don't really like and can't exactly remember the lyrics to.

Angel: ...

God: There's no way to make it stop.

Any tuba players in the Columbus area want to follow these guys while playing derpy music?

I would rather have a hot shower than have oils and moisture-retaining substances.

The finale of Lost.

I ran into someone who was like “I saw your bluesky profile and wasn’t sure it was you because it mentioned f1?” Yeah it’s me! I got really into formula 1 over the past few years. Idk, I’m large and contain multitudes.

At least some of these douchebags were apparently macing passersby and were later arrested (according to the Cbus subreddit anyway) www.reddit.com/r/Columbus/s...

Fuck yea that looks incredible

Six seconds of pure terror for you:
Mr Blobby in the Blair Witch Project.

Some genuinely terrible people whining about the "block culture" here on Bluesky is how you know the block culture is working, keep blocking those genuinely terrible people, folks, soon the only people they'll be able to bother here is each other

I have all these pundits and news people in my feed, and I just read all the posts w/this sense of detached amusement, like, oh how cute that you think that literally any of this makes sense or matters.

That's prob not a super healthy place to be in, psychologically speaking? but it's where I am!
